Jack and Family, 
My deepest condolences. Please be assured of my prayers in this difficult time. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.

Grandma Dee, you will be in our hearts, thoughts, prayers and memories forever.  You will be missed more than we could ever say.  Thank you for showering us with your love and spoiling us like only you could. We love you!  Love, Liliana, Maria and Michael

My heartfelt sympathies to Jacques and your family.
Dee was a very special lady who was always a bright light in our lives

Dear Jacque and family,

I just heard of Dee's passing and am shocked and saddened.  She was one of the most sincerely kind and generous people that I ever met.  Life won't be the same without her and I know the Schmidts will feel her loss profoundly.  Jacque, you and Dee were good friends to my parents for years, first through your 3M connection and in all the years since.  And when my Dad was ill, you both were there for him.  We will never forget your many kindnesses and we will never forget Dee.  We have all lost a great friend and lovely, lovely woman.  We will remember her with love.....always.

On behalf of Phyllis and the Schmidt Family

There are no words for this horrible loss. I will miss her terribly. I will miss that ray of sunshine and her beautiful smile. On behalf of my entire family, our deep deep condolences.

Life is not supposed to take the Dee's of this world prematurely.  She had far too much left to do in her conviction and drive of helping others to be better people.  Everyone was Dee's 'cause'.  She showed no discrimination; Everyone was her favorite.  Her heart and love was infinite.  She has been there for me in my most difficult times and I feel selfish in my loss though I know others feel as strongly.  That is what made her so unique:  Her ability to touch people on their most personal and individual levels.  
I hope the profound affect she has had on mine and others lives brings a greater sense of peace and acceptance to her family.   
You are and will always be DEARLY missed Dee.

Jacque,
We thank God for allowing our life paths to cross with Dee's. In a world of givers and takers Dee was the purest giver we met. Her compassionate heart and warm smile made all feel welcome and comfortable. She is now nurturing you and your family from above.

Always an optimistic person with a contagious smile and warm heart for everyone. We will miss her greatly. Our love to Jack and to his family!

The world could learn a lesson from Dee...it's not how much you give, but how much love you put into giving.  Dee gave her whole heart and we will miss her greatly!  To Jacque and family, you have our deepest sympathy for your loss.

Dee Dee, We had such fun as children, playing "jacks", and at your grandparents' house. You always had such a bright smile. May God bless your family with peace and consolation.

Dee was a very special person, whose loving presence, joy and inspiration will continue to live in our memory.  May your own happy memories be a source of comfort to you now.  We are so blessed to attend your 50th wedding anniversary in Maui. With love and blessings. Joann and Dario Casciato

Dear Jacque and family, 
Never did I think that my Dee Dee would precede me in death.  She was my very special niece, more like a little sister.  I was 17 when she was born, and so proud to be an auntie.  I met her when she was 10 minutes old, and watched her grow into a lovely and loving woman.  She had a kind and thoughtful heart and was always doing things for other people and for animals. We will miss her greatly

To Jaque Nelson and family:

You all have my sincere sympathy for your great loss.  

Sincerely---Al Blumer

Dear Jacque and family...
   Ever so sorry to hear about Dee! She was the kindest lady ever. Whenever our teenagers were missing, they were at the Nelson's and Dee fed nearly an army of them! We also spent many birthday parties and holidays there. Dee made everyone feel important and loved! An angel for sure!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time!  We feel blessed to have met DeDe as she was such a friendly, happy person!

So sorry to hear about Dee's passing.  She was a special lady! Prayers for comfort and healing for your family.

Jacque & Family, So sorry to hear of your loss of Dee -- will think of you both and remember sharing Maui sunsets.   Maggie Carter-Kennedy

Jacque, our deepest sympathy to you and your family on your loss. Dee was a "ray of Sunshine " and will be greatly missed.

My God Mom was a beautiful lady who literally radiated love and acceptance. She truly made the world a better place. I looked up to her and always wanted to be like her, that's a tall order that I will probably never attain. I was so blessed to have her in my life. My heart is broken.
Jac and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. You will be in my prayers.

Jacque,what a shock! Dee sent me such a nice comment after reading my book. Our sincere sympathy. Jim & Darlene Harden, Sarasota, FL

I have fond memories of cousin Dee as a child in Walker Mn. I wish I had spent more time with her in adulthood. My deepest condolences to you,Jacque, Robbie, and Kelly.

Jacque, Kelly and Robb 
We are so sorry to hear of Dee's passing. She was such a sweet and happy person whenever I saw her and I'm sure you will miss her dearly but be grateful for all the wonderful years you had together and your family will be in our prayers.

My heartfelt sympathy goes to you, her family, for your great loss. I so admired Dee and will miss her.

Diane had a way of lighting up a room with her presence.  She was a wonderful person and we will miss her.  I pray that God will help you through this difficult time.  Condolences to Jacque and your children and grandchildren.
